Inle Heritage Stilt Houses: "The best"

We stayed here for two nights and it was wonderful. The individual room is beautifully design and has their own little balcony. The food at the restaurant is excellent. The reception has a great library. It is good to know you are supporting the local community as well. One of the drawback is that given it is so ecofriendly, we kept hearing noises from various animal on our roof which disturb our sleep a little bit.

Noel Rodrigo’s Leopard Safaris: "Absolute magic. Just go"

"If you are considering a trip to Sri Lanka, this has to be on your list. We spent a week travelling all over the country but our single night at Noel's camp in Yala summed it up - the welcoming and charismatic people and the pride in the land and its nature. We arrived just after midday and were met by Danu - who was to be our guide for the trip - in full safari regalia in his 4x4. We were already laughing at animal stories as we bounced down the track to the campsite - which has a special entrance to the park which beats the crowds we'd heard about. On arrival there was cold juice, beers and space to chill out before our first game drive. We'd booked normal tents but they were beautifully equipped, totally private and immaculately clean. An outdoor, screened shower as well as charging for phones topped it off - luxury for the middle of a national park! Over the course of our two game drives we were lucky to sight birds, wild pigs, water buffalo, crocodiles and of course - a beautiful lone elephant at sunset and a leopard at sunrise. Danu knew the right spots to take us to catch a glimpse, chose always to work with the local wardens on drives, and had a network of spotters on the radio to get us to the scene of sightings. Racing along the track, holding onto the truck with one hand and the binoculars with the other, laughing all the way was pure excitement. We would recommend anyone going to Sri Lanka to consider a safari a must. But don't go cheap - it's easy to drive around the park and spot no major game, or get stuck in traffic through the normal entrances, if you pick the wrong company and guide. Danu and all the guys at Noel's - Dilanke and the others - had a spirit of adventure and commitment to conservationism that was contagious. The park and animals of Yala are in good hands with these boys - and you will be too! You MUST do this."

Supanniga Eating Room: "Thai home cooking at its best!👏🏼👍🏼"

Went for a casual dinner with my family and was so bowled over with the authentic and delicious food! The dishes were also very well priced and don't forget to order the Hor Mok and the very talll lime juice which was most refreshing!!

Glenburn Tea Estate: "Enchanting and Nostalgic Tea Estate with Majestic Views"

I had been trying to come to Glenburn for over 10 years and was afraid it would disappoint. It exceeded our expectations! The rooms are beautifully decorated and the entire estate has an old-world feel to it. It is situated in a majestic valley with views of Kanchenjunga. We took lovely walks each day. I especially appreciated the customer service and attention to detail. We had tea upon demand and amazing food. The prices might seem high, but considering that everything is included (food, excursions, transportation to/from the Bagdogra airport, etc.) the prices seem fair. I really loved the tea tour and thank Parveen (and Ranjan) for sharing their knowledge and making our stay so special. I also enjoyed meeting the other guests and having meals together -- it was a unique experience and we got to know many people on top of their game in different fields. We stayed four nights, which was ideal. I would love to return and highly recommend Glenburn Tea Estate for anyone looking for a picturesque getaway!

Villa Song Saigon: "Top Boutique Hotel"

Our trip to Vietnam concluded with three nights at the Villa Song a delightful French Colonial Villa converted into a five star hotel situated next to the river. Everything about this hotel oozes class and the staff, food and accommodation were excellent. The hotel has its own motor launch which we took advantage of to visit the floating temple, a great experience and not to be missed, add to that the complementary shuttle service to the centre of Saigon, the free mini bar and breakfast availability at any time of the day and really I can't imagine there is a better place to stay if visiting Saigon

Tugu Malang: "Life in the old time"

"When I arrived here, it felt like through back the time. The lobby feels like dutch with chinese interior in several point. All the employees wearing traditional uniform, looks so elegant, charming, and humble. This hotel build with fussion of Sundanese, Javanese, Chinese, and Dutch. There are several statues, painting, and several old stuffs so it feels like life in the museum. Stayed February 2017, traveled with friends"

Heritage Suites Hotel: "7 nights with an attentive staff in a lovely property"

The hotel is a bit out of the way but a short tuk tuk ride you are in town. We stayed in the saffron suite. Lovely room, very large, great air conditioning. Staff is very kind and attentive. If you ask for anything they respond quickly. I was ill for a couple of days during my trip and they kept checking on me, asking my wife if I was getting better, bringing extra water to the room. My only complaint was the mattress was not very comfortable. Everything else was perfect.

Reverie Siam: "Excellent Experience"

stayed there last week with my family. very nice resort in a superb location by the Pai river the rooms are big with very unique design belong to the early 20th. the restaurant has great ambiance and the staff is very friendly. will definitely come agin. Amit.

Samanea Beach Resort: "Great place"

The pier is the star attraction, best place in Kep to experience sunset and because of the small amount of rooms available the resort is never crowded, there are always available beds around the pool. All in all affording a feeling of exclusivity rarely experienced at larger resorts.

Reverie Siam: "Simply outstanding"

This place is a hidden pearl worth the long way of 762 curves on route from Chiangmai and we simply loved it so much that we didn't want to leave. Great atmosphere, service, stylish rooms and gardens as well as one of the best places for yoga in the early morning. The food is a innovative mix of tradition and experiments with new ideas, most of it really worth trying. Definitely one of the best cappuccinos in Thailand. We also liked a lot the concept for breakfast that you order a la carte. Things for improvement - bathrooms could do with a little more privacy and water saving. Overall it's a place to come back to.
